Although we also have an Apple TV, XBox One, and a cable set top box, we use the Chromecast 95% of the time. There are apps for Dutch news (NOS) and public broadcasts (NPO). And if there is no app, we just use tab casting on a laptop. The XBox One is primarily useful for Blu-Rays, but is pretty annoying otherwise (long startup time, regular updates that take a long time, no casting except for an experimental Miracast app, not energy efficient). Since both my wife and I switched from iPhone to Android devices, the Apple TV became pretty useless, since it is firmly locked in Apple's ecosystem. Sometimes, we use it with an US account to purchase TV shows that are not available here yet. Also, since we have a Chromecast, I have come to dislike the typical 'mediacenter with apps' interface of the XBox and Apple TV. A phone is far more convenient app-wise with touch, so the idea to have a dumb dongle was great.
